    That Spain Portugal match made up for at least half a decades worth though.

    One day the Italians will get over themselves. Clearly not today.

    In these VAR times, he's worth at least 7 penalties.

    This opening ceremony's gone a bit Beijing.

    I did like Italy putting Insigne next to Bonucci (I think) for the anthem. The smallest player next to one of their tallest.

    Good game so far. A player like Insigne should be doing far more with that chance.

    This guy Locatelli looks like he’s never played football before. Is he only starting because he’s a unit?

    Calhanoglu is a great tournament archetype. Silky, midget playmaker for a mid-tier or lesser nation. Real Aboutreika vibes to him.

    Is this Italy’s first choice attacking trio? Can’t see them troubling the big sides too much if so.

    They have a defender in their squad called Mert Muldur.

    There’s two of ‘em actually.

    Turkey could do with some pace to threaten in behind. Under to come on and do bits.

    Italy are blowing all their mamma mia seethe stocks on some stupid non-handballs in game 1, absolute amateurs. You're meant to sleep your way through this and save the histrionics for a couple of weeks' time.

    This has been such an easy game for Italy. For all James's point about getting 3 draws is valid, it's the teams who turn up with a negative approach like Turkey have here who will end up going out bottom.

    Italy would murder Southgates 11 Rightbacks.

    I don't think we'd have much joy breaking Turkey down either.

    Shit game, mind.

    Maybe Turkey are just wank?

    Or maybe the best way to attack Italy's decrepit centre-halves isn't with an equally decrepit forward?

    Italy do look quite well set to grind though, which seems to be the best modus operandi in modern international football.

    Turkey are basically Tony Pulis' West Brom. Practically impossible to score against... until you get one. Then the floodgates open.

    Italy have been good, albeit still need to see them against a team who want the ball, I get the feeling Jorginho could get bumrushed against a high press.

    I am a long term disliker of Italian football (I can't be doing with all the screeching) but every shot of Luca Vialli on the bench rolls that back 10%. What a man.

    I get the feeling this tournament will suit him unless players have been half arsing the season for this and are full of pressing.

    Italy will get bummed against a side with quick transitions/BLMs so just enjoy them whilst you can, football played with such class is a disappearing phenomenon.

    Indeed, it could have been a buffet of shithousing but we saw nothing.
